Is it possible to upgrade a rooted FP2 without first unrooting it?

My autobuild didn’t find anything, I hope FP devs won’t change their OTA-Server with every release in the future… :confused:

Anyway - available here.

I’m currently testing updating my phone with the img-files. Will report later if everything worked fine :wink:

Edit: Here is how I updated my rooted phone:

  • (Optional) Perform a backup with TWRP
  • Download “binary image” from here
  • Unpack it somewhere to your HDD.
  • For Linux: Edit flash.sh: Remove this:

sha256sum --status -c SHA256SUMS ||
{ echo “Checksums do not match. Not flashing.” ; exit 1 ; }

  • For Linux and Windows: Remove the last line (fastboot reboot)
  • Get fastboot running as described in Step 1 here
  • Go into bootloader (Press VOL- during start of your phone)
  • Run flash.sh/flash.bat
  • Do not reboot!
  • Flash rooted boot.img (get it e.g. from https://fp2.retsifp.de and use it only if it matches exactly the FPOS-Version you just installed!)
  • (Optional) Install XPosed Framework (Don’t forget that we have sdk23 now!)
  • Reboot
